If you want to go deeper on language models, try these project ideas:

- Zero-shot encoders like tasksource or GliNER

- Natural language inference: https://huggingface.co/blog/dleemiller/nli-xenc-ways-to-use

- GRPO training

- GEPA prompt tuning Qwen 0.6B (or GEPA, then GRPO)

- Use an embedding model and train a classifier (MLP, logistic, svm)

- Use a larger LLM to generate a synthetic dataset (beware of lack of diversity, mine "seed text" from real sources first)

- Synthetically generate "hard examples" where more than one category may be valid and DPO tune your preferred responses

may I ask where did you get the list? I am looking for ways to get involved in going little more deeper on LLMs (I have very high level understanding, but my direct work doesn't involve them, hence I am not familiar with deeper details)
